Brothers and Sisters, we know that following the great shepherd is our greatest joy. It is not burdensome, but it is light. Our desire to follow after our great shepherd would be useless, unless the Great Shepherd provide food and drink for us. Unless He provides a means of grace; a meal in which we would be strengthened to live holy lives. This is the meal God provides for us at this table; a table for us in the presence of our enemies. Come and be strengthened now!
